FirstNationalBastard:If hot teachers can be fired for having bikini pics found by students, dumb Principals should also be fired for having mugshots.

I don't support firing teachers for having a private life, but what's good for the goose is good for the gander. You are absolutely correct - administrators should be held to an even higher standard than teachers.

Besides, this administrator is clearly a bully and an imbecile who doesn't understand student rights.

insano:As stupid as the administrator seems to be, the kid did claim she had been arrested for DUI when she was not. Obviously, he can not be arrested for it, but do libel laws apply to internet posting?

Popcorn Johnny:He's guilty of libel so the little shiat is lucky he's getting off with a suspension.

It depends on how it was phrased: Here's a mugshot of the principal after getting arrested for a DUI vs. Here's a mugshot of the principal, I think she'd been arrested for DUI. One is likely libel, one is just stating an opinion.

of course they dobuthe is probably underage and in the end, what is the penalty for writing that your principal is a drunk?LOL

It SHOULD be illegal to post mugshots of people who were not convicted.

The police are VERY fallible. They are not only not good at catching people, but they're very good at inflating charges. So when they drag you in for a mugshot, chances are you're probably not guilty of what you're there for, and so it should be illegal to have such a photo or display it publicly.

This

I was told when I was in high school that students had no rights. They even took the stall doors off in our bathrooms so if you popped a squat everyone could see.

"in the United States, first, the person must prove that the statement was false. Second, the person must prove that the statement caused harm. Third, the person must prove that the statement was made without adequate research into the truthfulness of the statement."

namatad:Can someone explain to me how you are arrested and processed (mug shot) for "She had been arrested for missing a court appearance that merely concerned a speeding ticket. "?

The whole story probably is, that she got pulled over with a failure to appear warrant for not paying her speeding ticket. so they took her in. If you forget to pay a speeding ticket and go to the court to rectify it you do not get arrested, if you ignore it you get arrested.

I'm not saying that the principal got arrested for a DUI, I'm just asking questions.

really?cause the world I live in, they just keep sending you notices of a rescheduled court date. Hell, for my actual DUI I got 2-3 notices before I went and took care of it.Of course that was 1985 aka the dark ages. I still cant imagine that a city would waste that amount of resources on a moving violation.Dont they have real crimes they should be working on? like missing donuts?

FirstNationalBastard:If hot teachers can be fired for having bikini pics found by students, dumb Principals should also be fired for having mugshots.

One is usually voluntary, the other is usually not. Also, unless the arrest itself is somehow against school policy (for instance, if she'd had a felony conviction that she did not report before hiring and they specifically asked about such), then no; her criminal record would already have been known by the school system.

yes there is a case - buthttp://www.mscode.com/free/statutes/97/003/0055.htm(random state, assuming that most states are similar)'Any person who shall be convicted of writing or publishing any libel, shall be fined in such sum or imprisoned in the county jail for such term as the court, in its discretion, may adjudge, having regard to the nature and enormity of the offense, or be punished by both such fine and imprisonment. "

If she lost a multimillion dollar contract and suffer huge uproar nationally, which led to death threats, he might be in trouble.If the school district fired her, she would probably have cause against them for wrongful termination. And the loss of income might be part of the libel suit against him.But a rational judge would look at this and laugh. Find the kid guilty, couple hours of community service and a public apology.

but jail or prison? LOL noand punitive damages? LOL nocompensatory? LOL not unless she gets fired and even then, he is a kid

He would have to be charged and tried as an adult for this to even begin to get traction.Juvie court would just laugh at her.

having someone snap a bikini pic while on summer vacation and having someone publish it against your will isn't really "voluntary"

In Georgia it depends on the jurisdiction, the court can suspend your license, issue an failure to appear warrant, or reschedule the court date. Small towns that thrive on ticket revenue tend be the hard ass warrant issuing type.

/A friend didn't pay a traffic ticket and went to Europe for 6 months he was arrested at the airport and taken to Fulton County Jail booked then transferred to the Fayette County Jail then allowed to bond out. It took two days all this over a $88.00 speeding ticket in Tyrone GA.

doglover: It SHOULD be illegal to post mugshots of people who were not convicted.

In general the police shouldn't release mugshots at all unless there is an overriding reason. When it's done to shame' people that's an issue because it's not the cops job to met out punishment, that's the judges job.

I really love how this backfired on her. Thousands upon thousands of people know about her arrest now and have seen her mugshot. I'm surprised she didn't think her cunning plan through before suspending him. She's clearly not the sharpest knife in the drawer... what a shame she's an educator.

Schools should teach kids how to behave and what repercussions they can expect in the real world. What she should have done is taken him into her office and said, "what that is, is libel, do you know what that is? It's very serious, you could go to jail over it, so delete it, and replace it with an apology that sets everything straight and we'll go about our day". Kid learns, she gets what she wants, we don't have to read a terribly written article... but wait, guess what? Tired yet? There's, like, more! Gah, fark off!
